Two more from the chilling classics 50 movies boxset
Nightmare in wax
Cameron Mitchell gives a fantantstic over the top performance as disfigured artist who takes revenge on those who where responsible. He ends up using a serum to turn them into releastic waxworks. Sadly the police on the case must be complete morons because it takes them awhile to even suspect Cameron who wears a cape and has a eye patch and in his museum has waxworks of the victims . Not bad but the ending is just stupid. 4.5/10
Devil times five
This was a fantastic and disturbing little film. It's your usual escaped psychopath film but with the twist that they are five angel faced children. The said children go on a killing spree when they are pick up by a group of people staying at hotel. The adults are all total unlikeable lot and apart from the character of Ralph deserve everything they get. The children on the other hand are very interesting characters and we even have a big shock/twist with one of them. Some of the deaths are real brutal for the time, especially the death by pirana. I would recommend people seeking out this little gem. 8/10
Now watching what I think is one of the most atmospheric horrors dead and buried.
